More for Marfil as Abid Becomes Shortest
Level 28
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Feras Abid was in middle position, raising it to 325,000. David Marfil flat-called in the hijack, and the two went heads up to the 9♠A♦8♠ flop. Abid continued for 300,000, and Marfil called.
The 8♣ arrived on the turn, which both players checked. The Q♦ river completed the board. Abid checked again, and Marfil followed suit after a long time in the tank.
Abid tabled 7♠7♣, but it was no good against the A♠5♠ of Marfil. Marfil won the pot with top pair, taking the first significant pot of the final table.
